Dead Man Walking: Living By Day, Dead By Night

Zane returned to the humvee to find that Olivia had just now recovered from her state of corruption. She was about to ask him for advice on how to use her newly acquired attribute points when Zane shook his head and instead demanded the remaining blood crystals.

"I don't have time for that right now. I'll help you when I get back. But I'm going to need the remaining blood crystals."

Olivia did not ask why Zane needed these blood crystals, nor did she ask where he was going, or for what reason he was so pressed for time. Instead, she pulled out the bag, which contained them all. After consuming the necessary amount of blood crystals for her to level up. The group had roughly five hundred left.

Which was more than enough for them to purchase the busty blonde slave and buy her some equipment.

After all, the choice of attire which the slavers dressed her in was unsuited for the field of battle. It was best used to entice men's sexual desire, and that was something which Zane had no interest in, and thus after grabbing hold of the duffle bag which contained the five hundred spherical crystals, Zane marched back to the auction area.

Rather than walk straight back to the auction site, Zane took a slight detour. After all, he did not want to alert people where he was coming from. As greed was one of humanity's worst instincts, one that would compel people within the safe zone to do something foolish.

Instead, Zane made his way through the markets. Where he made a brief stop to buy some proper garments for the woman he was purchasing, and though he chose the sizes based upon nothing but his initial observation of her figure, he ensured that she would be properly kitted out for future conflicts.

Once Zane had done this, he did a loop around before finally getting back to the slave auction site. Where he handed over the promised payment, an additional one hundred and fifty blood crystals, to the slavers.

These slavers were astounded by what they had seen. Never before had they come across such a large sum of crystals. And Zane appeared to have far more than this at his disposal. At first there was an instinct to rob him blind, but luckily for them, their sense of reason outweighed their inherent greed.

After all, anyone who could get these many blood crystals was clearly not somebody to be trifled with. Knowing this, the slavers accepted payment before handing a remote over to Zane. The leader of the slavers explained its function to the new buyer.

"In case you haven't noticed yet, the bitch is strapped with a shock collar. One of our boys rigged these things so that they deal a paralyzing voltage when you click the button. Almost like a stun gun. If she gives you any problems, just hit this big red button and I promise you the cunt will be stopped dead in her tracks.

I hope you enjoy your new toy kid… Because with a bitch like that following you around, you are going to be painting a target on your back."

Zane did not respond to this statement. He simply pocketed the wireless remote before walking over to his newly purchased slave, where he grabbed hold of the leash on her collar and asked her a simple question.

"Am I going to need to use this if I want you to follow me?"

There was a lifeless expression on the blonde woman's otherwise beautiful face, as if she had already given up on life and was simply going through the motions. This was further exemplified by the way which she slowly shook her head, confirming that she would not resist her new master.

Upon seeing this, Zane let go of the leash and told the girl to follow him with a cold tone in his voice. Further causing the young woman to believe that he had nothing but ill intent towards her.

"Good… Follow me…"

The woman did not ask where they were headed. Instead, she walked with her head hanging low. Her eyes focused on the ground, or more specifically, the high heels she was forced to wear by her captors, along with the stockings on her thighs.

Like the slavers had said, everywhere Zane and the girl walked, eyes were drawn onto them, and those that came from men were clearly filed with envy. The unwanted attention was definitely something that Zane was cautious of.

Because of this, he stopped dead in his tracks and took off his leather jacket before tossing it at the girl. The jacket smacked the girl right in the face, and she nearly dropped it in the mud, but luckily her body caught it on instinct, causing her to stare at it in disbelief.

"You're attracting too much attention, put that on, and don't touch my smokes. I only have so many of them and I won't be sharing…"

Upon hearing this, what little hope which the girl had regarding her new master being a kind man was immediately dashed when the girl heard the reasoning behind what she initially thought was an empathetic gesture. But nevertheless, the girl did as she was ordered, covering her exceptionally large bust and wide hips with the leather jacket. All the while, she gazed at Zane's figure from behind.

The two of them would walk for some time in silence before eventually, after another detour to throw off any would be pursuers, Zane and the blonde-haired woman arrived at the Humvee where Elena and Olivia were shocked to find another beautiful woman by Zane's side.

There was a clear look of confusion, and possibly a hint of envy in both Olivia's and Elena's eyes as they immediately demanded an answer from the man about his perceived infidelity. Completely forgetting in the moment that he made a mention of being interested in acquiring slaves prior to leaving them both at the car.

"Zane, what the hell? Who is that woman? And why is she wearing your jacket?"

The woman was clearly as confused as Elena and Olivia. The moment she saw the two other women, she thought they were just like her. Slaves to this bastard who had purchased her as if she were some kind of livestock.

But these women didn't have collars, and they even spoke to their "master" with such tones. No, they weren't slaves… They were his accomplices? Or perhaps they were the man's lovers? She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear Zane's question.

That is until Zane snapped in front of the girl's green eyes and asked again with a stern tone in his voice.

"Oi, girl! Didn't you hear me? What is your name?"
